However, it would be nice if the English itself was at least German accented... I don't know, would just seem better that way.

Like trying to watch Cruise in Valkerie, almost funny and ruined the movie.

I think people should just forget about this already. There's a German voiced trailer (which sounds just fine), and there will certainly be the option of choosing German language in the game.

So - drop it, already.

The voice acting is irrelevant. The trailer itself sucks! It reduces a U-Boat captain and crew to a collection of fools who post no lookouts, whose first inkling of an air attack is BOOM!! Then an entire fleet of deadly escorts, previously undetected, of course, descends on them.

They're at 120 meters and urgently, as if going deeper were difficult, captain orders "deeper!" Yikes, this is Das Boot overdramatization and crew retardation all over again. It reduces Silent Hunter to an arcade game.

It's supposed to be a simulation. A simulation where crews post lookouts and planes are sighted in the clear unlimited visibility of day from a distance from which bombing is not possible for a few seconds. Ships are detected by their smoke before they ever pop up over the horizon. U-Boat crews and captains are professionals, not fools!

That's just great: a trailer directed at 13 year olds. Thanks, Ubi, for respecting your players.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised by whatever we find in the game, should we? Why does that trailer not encourage me. I think they should have spoken Pig Latin.

I think the trailer was made in order to demonstrate new graphics and life itself inside the u-boat more than point out that this is also simulation

However yes it looks somelike odd seeing sonarguy at his station listening for noises and next minute task force approaching from not too far away..

Anyway as you shouln't judge the book from it's cover the same goes for the trailer..

Ah, there you are RR. Was waiting when you post your rant here after reading your rant at Ubi forums.

Right, can we just wait to get abit more info from the game before we start slinging mud at them? This is the first trailer after all.

Kapteeni Rantala · 08-18-09, 06:31 AM

Actually, Dowly summed it up.

Imagine if they got Jurgen Prochnow to make a cameo in the voice acting.

i totaly agree with you Rockin Robbins,

...but they had to produce a short trailer, showing all the new features, by telling us what business strategy and target group is sitting behind it (teenagers)...

I hope they realise sometimes, that not only teenagers are buying video games, because interactive movies like games get more and more market shares, so that means more and more adult people would play a interactive movie as a simulation rather than just looking it.

But my disapointment on that trailer isnt to much, because...

1. We know about the past first UBI-Trailers (just concept art) and where never much realistic.

2. They identified the demand of a full moveable interactive 3D submarine.

3. They identified the demand of a more manual controlable sub.

4. They identified the demand of more interactions with the crew.

i hope they also identified the demand of human controlled surface opponents, and a special admosphere which was created by Bavaria Movie Studios.

...hoping for a strong budget also

Rockin Robbins · 08-18-09, 10:22 AM

Wouldn't it be cool if we really did have the realism/arcade sliders? THAT would be fun.

Actuallly Silent Hill on a submarine would be cool

. SUre is bigger than that apartment in Silent Hill 4. And all the holes in the walls would lead you to sunken ships

.

By the way, about the trailer, I'd love it if the next trailer shows us the features in the donwloadable SDK (hint for Ubi

).
